Tuesday evening 7 Swedish local club cyclists were training in South East Sweden when a very annoyed car driver overtook them and then ... slammed on the brakes. As they were doing about 50 km/h it resulted in broken collarbones, broken arms, broken ribs and a broken bone in a hand - to start with. Luckily only 2 ended up in the ambulance as they were spread across the road and in a ditch.

Hope the ones who weren't hurt, then put the driver into the hospital.

The love affair between drivers and cyclists exists here in Canada, too.
Ain't that sweet?
p.s.
@Bustedknuckle:
I was riding with a group of about 50 riders in the Arizona desert in 1992, some of whom comprised of Olympic team members from Canada.
Safe to say they were a very fit bunch.
Anyway, a pick-up truck pulled in front of the bunch in the middle of nowhere and suddenly slammed on the brakes, creating the domino effect. Thankfully only a few riders suffered some minor injuries.
My first instinct after registering the shock of what just happened was that some super strong riders (Canadian sprinter Gord Fraser being one of them) were going to pull the lone occupant out of the vehicle and proceed to beat the living *** out of him. Me being the pacifist type was not going to be one of them. But I thought for sure the driver was going to be badly injured.
In fact, it took me a few seconds to wonder why it wasn't happening; then after surveying the damage on the ground, I looked up to see the driver pointing to a rifle that was mounted on the back window of his pick-up.
Suffice to say, that produced an even more chilling effect and no further beatings occurred.

Got it, stupid rednecks in the USA, hasn't changed..I think a lot of them reside on the US politics section here ..today, you don't need a gun, just need a cell phone. To take picture of truck, license plate and then use it to call the cops..

Horrible stories( The son of my friend is still in hospital after meeting a truck. He was riding for the charity, "For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation." And that is the result(
